I'm trapped in a world that I can't take
Where everything's unrealistic and fake
I'm hiding out and planning my escape
I hope I'm not the only one
Please come and rescue me tonight

I just wish that I could disappear
Someone take me far away from here
Do you suppose there's more to life out there?

There's no happiness surrounding me
Hate and ugliness is all I see
I wanna leave it all behind
I'm running out of time
Please come and rescue me tonight

I just wish that I could disappear
Someone take me far away from here
Do you suppose there's more to life out there?

And I don't wanna be blind
I wanna open my mind
I wanna know if there's a purpose to this life
Will I ever find it? I'm running out of time...

Trapped in a world that I can't take
I'm hiding out and planning my escape
Please come and rescue me tonight

(Listen)
(Ohh, ohh)
(Ohh, ohh)

I'm sick of all this waiting
And people telling me what I should be
What if I'm not so crazy
Maybe you're the one that's wrong, not me
So what you gonna do, what you gonna say
When we're standing on top and do it our way
You say we got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up, that's my generation

[CHORUS]
(hey ho, let's go!)
It's going down tonight
(hey ho, let's go!)
We're gonna do it til we die
(hey ho, let's go!)
'Cause I, I, I got no reason to apologize
That's my generation

(ohh, ohh)
(ohh, ohh)

I don't need to say I'm sorry
I do what everybody wants to do
It's not so complicated
'Cause I know you want the same thing, too
So what you gonna do, what you gonna say
When we're standing on top and do it our way
You say we got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up, that's my generation

[CHORUS]

(Listen)

Don't need to say I'm sorry
(ohh, ohh)
It's not so complicated
'Cause I know you want the same thing, too

[CHORUS (x2)]

We started off incredible
Connection undeniable
I swear I thought you were the one forever
But your love was like a loaded gun
You shot me down like everyone
'Cause everyone's replaceable
When you're just so incapable
Of getting past skin deep

[Chorus:]
Guess what, another game over
I got burned, but you're the real loser
I don't know why I've wasted my time with you
You're bad news, a history repeating
You can't trust a serial cheating
You're good at hooking up but you suck at love

You played my like an amateur
Then stabbed me like a murderer
I'm left for dead, another one of your victims
It's not like you're unpredictable
But your act is so believable
I know it's nothing personal, it's just business as usual
You're good at what you do

[Chorus]

Now I kinda feel bad for you
You're never gonna know
what it's like to have someone to turn to
Another day, another bed
It's just a game inside your head

[Chorus x2]

You've messed this whole thing up
Well you were such an awesome fuck
But you suck at love, you suck at love

Broken words into thirds like a syllable
Bullshit runs, 'cause if it walks, then it's killable
Poison tongue on my lung licking everything
Unsung kick drum kick, kick, killing me

Well nothing can go wrong?
Yeah so come and get it on
Audio explosion
And you drop it like a bomb
Lying through your teeth
Smoking TNT
Talk is cheap
Burn your bridges easily

[BRIDGE]
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Don't blow it!
They're gonna eat you alive
You can't control it!
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Don't blow it!
They're gonna eat you alive
Ya know it!

[CHORUS]
Murder on the airwaves
Can't stop the chaos
Murder on the airwaves
A rapid blood loss
Stab me in the back
Right in front of me
Murder on the airwaves
Can't stop the chaos
Murder on the airwaves
A rapid blood loss
There's no going back
When you are dead to me

Suffer ya sucker, your shifty eyes selling me
Dumb motherfucker used to scream the songs that ya scream
Glass in my eye from my life left shattered
Bruises and excuses like nothing ever mattered

Well nothing can go wrong?
Yeah so come and get it on
Light it up like dynamite
And drop it like a bomb
Lying and deceit
Finger on repeat
Talk is cheap
Burn your bridges easily

[BRIDGE]
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Don't blow it!
They're gonna eat you alive
You can't control it!
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Don't blow it!
They're gonna eat you alive
Ya know it!

[CHORUS]
Murder on the airwaves
Can't stop the chaos
Murder on the airwaves
A rapid blood loss
Stab me in the back
Right in front of me
Murder on the airwaves
Can't stop the chaos
Murder on the airwaves
A rapid blood loss
There's no going back
When you are dead to me

[SOLO]

[BRIDGE]
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Don't blow it!
They're gonna eat you alive
You can't control it!
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Don't blow it!
They're gonna eat you alive
Ya know it!

[CHORUS]
Murder on the airwaves
Can't stop the chaos
Murder on the airwaves
A rapid blood loss
Stab me in the back
Right in front of me
Murder on the airwaves
Can't stop the chaos
Murder on the airwaves
A rapid blood loss
There's no going back
When you are dead to me

Paranoid confusion
Disarray and disillusion
Working overtime
Giving up what's mine

Yeah, panic in the streets now
Party's in the basement
We scream for entertainment
Riots in the backyard
Feel it from the pavement
Products of our environment

If you wanna give up from the start
If you wanna watch it fall apart
If you wanna let it break your heart
But if you start now then you will never stop it

We're taking what we need
Party til' we bleed
Begging on our knees
Panic in the streets
Tonight, tonight we're alive

We're taking what we need
Party til' we bleed
Begging on our knees
Panic in the streets
Tonight, tonight we're alive
We're alive

Permanent vacation
Loss of breath and suffocation
Turn it up to ten
Fueled by medicine

Yeah, panic in the streets now
Party's in the basement
We scream for entertainment
Riots in the backyard
Feel it from the pavement
Products of our environment

If you wanna give up from the start
If you wanna watch it fall apart
If you wanna let it break your heart
But if you start now then you will never stop it

We're taking what we need
Party til' we bleed
Begging on our knees
Panic in the streets
Tonight, tonight we're alive

We're taking what we need
Party til' we bleed
Begging on our knees
Panic in the streets
Tonight, tonight we're alive
We're alive

Take a ride on the freak side, caught in a riptide
Pulling us down, leave your heart by the wayside
Grind motivation, no hesitation
Nothing left to lose but a punk rock nation

Sound the alarm cause' the tides are turning
To weather the storm with the rep we're earning
Try and stay calm with the music turnin'
Farewell to all of the bridges we're burning

We're taking what we need
Party til' we bleed
Begging on our knees
Panic in the streets
Tonight, tonight we're alive

We're taking what we need
Party til' we bleed
Begging on our knees
Panic in the streets
Tonight, tonight we're alive
We're alive

I took her out. It was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops, and your husband's in jail
This state looks down on sodomy

And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is Call ID?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

That's about the time that she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?
I never wanna act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

What's my age again?

Show me how to lie
You’re getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that’s hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I’m wide awake
It’s a scene about me
There’s something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can’t get what you want
Well it’s all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you’ll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

So here I go and there you went...again
Just another stupid thing that I done wrong.
Locked up in my head, knocked down, beaten, left for dead
With all those brilliant things I should have said.
I gotta get away, and find something to do
'Cause everything I hear, everything I see, reminds me of you.

Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.

Day one, was no fun.
Day two, i hated you.
By day three I wish you'd come right back to me.
Day four, five and six, well I guess you just don't give a shit.
Day seven, this is hell. this is hell.
I gotta get away, and find something to do.
But everything I hear, everything I see, reminds me of you.

Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days since you left me. 1,2,3,4...
Still counting the days since you've been gone.

A thousand things I wanna say to you, but it's too late now.
A thousand things I wanna say...
A thousand things I wanna say to you, but it's too late now.
A thousand things I wanna say...

Still counting the days I've been without you.
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days since you left me 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Gone...
Gone...
Gone...
Gone...

I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms

It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up

In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up

Don't want to spend my time, wishing you were here
Don't want to spend my time alone
Don't want to waste my life, dwelling on the past
Don't want to lock myself at home

'Cause I want, I need, nothing less than you
I want nothing else at all

Don't want to make excuses
Explaining it away
Just want to spend my time with you

Don't want to walk on ice
Don't want to live on edge
'Cause on the edge
I'm looking down

I want more, I want more

Don't want to spend my time
Wishing you were here
Don't want to spend my time alone

I would have been in doubt
When this started out
That everything would turn out this way
First it was a phone call
Then it was another
From a mother who was ready to play

She said things that no one ever told me before
But how could I have known
That she wanted to settle a score

Then a man came in
I can finally see it
And it looks like you're having fun
But when I get back
You're gonna be bleeding
So I think son you better run
Now I think I should be leaving
'Cause it looks like I’ve had enough
She was a deceiver but I had to believe her
When she told me she was in love

I knew I could fix it
In just another minute
But I guess it was a minute too late
I knew he was coming
And I should have been running
If he caught me I would never escape

Now I know it never should have been a surprise
But how could I have known
That she was only telling me lies

'Cause a man came in
I thought you were leaving
But I see you're still having fun
Now I’m back and you're gonna be bleeding
So I think son you better run
Now I see I should be leaving
'Cause it looks like I’ve done enough
She was a deceiver but I had to believe her
When she told me she was in love

Don't blame me
It's not my fault
Don't blame me
I'm not the one

'Cause a man came in
I thought you were leaving
But I see you're still having fun
Now I’m back and you're gonna be bleeding
So I think son you better run
Now I see I should be leaving
'Cause it looks like I’ve done enough
She was a deceiver but I had to believe her
When she told me she was in love
She told me she was in love

He was the congregation's vagrant,
With an unrequited love.
When your passion's exaltation,
Then finding refuge is not enough.
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go.
When they decided they would try to make it on their own.

Oh Memories!
Where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known!
How I miss yesterday!
How'd I let it fade away?
Where'd you go?

(Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh)

When July became December,
Their affection fought the cold.
But they couldn't quite remember,
What inspired them to go.
And it was beautifully depressing,
Like a street car named Desire.
They were fighting for their love that had started growing tired.

Oh Memories!
Where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known!
How I miss yesterday!
How'd I let it fade away?
Don't fade away!

When money lost momentum,
And the bills were piling high
Then the smile had finally faded,
From the apple of their eye.
They were young and independent,
And they thought they had it planned.
Should have known right from the start
You can't predict the end.

Oh Memories!
Where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known!
How I miss yesterday!
How'd I let it fade away?
Oh Memories!
Where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known!
How I miss yesterday!
How'd I let it fade away?
Don't fade away!

I feel things changing when I move
(Its a distance, Its a difference)
I'll cross this planet without you
(and you might call this a downfall)
Its one long night that I'm passing through
(Its a dark one what have I done)
Its one long night...

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down

Left last night with a long goodbye
(We cement why, through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty, when you leave me)
What's one more?

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the broken one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down
You take me down

I won't get by
I won't heal in time
I won't get by

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up ...if I'm dreaming

Half these friends, fading fast, burning out, into ash
Where you wanna go cuz I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied
Its alright, alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
Its alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Dissatisfied

If the best times only last
In a second come to pass
Where you wanna go cuz I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied. It's alright, alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
Its alright

Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Dissatisfied

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up ...if I'm dreaming
Another never-ending night
Another long and sleepless life
I've had enough, please wake me up ...if I'm dreaming

Twenty more days since we've been gone, and I'm so sick of
Twenty more nights I've spent alone, and I'm so sick of
Twenty more days 'till I get home, and I'm so sick of being here

I hate feelin' like this
I'm so tired of tryin' to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of is waking to you

Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missin'
And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losin' you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

I hate livin' without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waitin'
Tempting me away
Oh how I adore you
Oh how I thirst for you
Oh how I need you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'less I feel you next to me

You take the pain I feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes
Open up

Comatose
I'll never wake without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

Oh how I adore you
Wakin' up to you never felt so real
Oh how I thirst for you
Wakin' up to you never felt so real
Oh how I adore you

Oh
The way you make me feel
Wakin' up to you never felt so real

The world around me is lost in misery
The only good I've got in my life is you
No meaning, no other reason
When everything feels wrong I feel right with You

So madly, desperate deeply
Obsessed your love is better than mine to me
Can I have this moment forever?

Take me, to the beginning

You are what I believe
I'll live and die for You
This is all that I need
When nothing is real you are my truth

In the darkness You shine
Can You keep me safe tonight?

When I'm down on my knees
You are what I believe

When we started whole hearted
I never needed anything or anyone else
I was broken you made me whole again
The only one I trusted more than myself

So madly desperate deeply
I will live for you completely
Can I have this moment forever?

Take me, to the beginning

You are what I believe
I'll live and die for you
This is all that I need
When nothing is real you are my truth

In the darkness you shine
Can you keep me safe tonight?

When I'm down on my knees
You are what I believe

Believe in your love
Believe in your life
Believe that You can put me back
Together on the inside

Chase all the fear away
Every time I speak your name

Take me
You are what I believe

You are what I believe
I'll live and die for You
This is all that I need
When nothing is real you are my truth

In the darkness You shine
Can You keep me safe tonight?

When I'm down on my knees
You are what I believes

All I see is shattered pieces
I can't keep it hidden like a secret
I can't look away!
From all this pain in a world we made!

Everyday you need a bulletproof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess!
Am I safe today?
When I step outside in the wars we wage!

Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!

Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise in revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise in revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight we rise!

Rise.
Tonight we rise
Rise.
Tonight we rise!

Like a hand grenade thrown in a hurricane,
Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame,
Yesterday is gone!
Faster than the blast of a car bomb!

And when the scars heal, the pain passes,
As hope burns, we rise from the ashes!
Darkness fades away!
And the light shines on a brave new day!

Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!

Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise in revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise in revolution!
Unite and fight to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight we rise!

Rise.
Tonight we rise
Rise.
Tonight we rise!

In a world gone mad,
In a place so sad!
Sometimes it's crazy
To fight for what you believe!
But you can't give up,
If you wanna keep what you love!
(Keep what you love)
Keep what you love
(Keep what you love)
Keep what you love
Never give up, no!!!

Rise.
Rise in revolution
Rise.
Rise in revolution

Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call!

Rise
Like we're alive
Tonight we rise
Rise
Make a better life
Tonight we rise!

Rise, rise, rise in revolution
Rise, rise, rise in revolution
Rise.
